Zhang Wen's name

Office of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong

"Governor Zhang, based on the reports we received from below, we have discovered that agricultural products in many places are experiencing sluggish sales this year."

Zhang Wen became serious after hearing this. This was no small matter; if it wasn't taken seriously, it could dampen the enthusiasm of the masses.

"Comrade Chaoyang, please tell me what aspects are involved so I can coordinate and make arrangements."

"Okay, Governor Zhang, it mainly involves some fruits and agricultural products. For example, strawberries and blueberries from Lishui District, and hairy crabs from Guhu Lake in Gaochun District. Secondly, there are also agricultural products such as wheat from Hanbei."

Zhang Wen fell into thought after hearing this.

"I can understand Chaoyang and Hanbei, since they mainly deal with grains. But I gave guidance on Lishui fruit and Guhu hairy crabs, so what are their district chiefs doing?"

"Governor Zhang, sales were good at first, but once the hype died down, it went back to the old ways. Later, we discovered a lot of counterfeit products. These fakes were cheap and of inconsistent quality, which dealt a heavy blow to the Guhu hairy crab brand."

Zhang Wen felt somewhat helpless after hearing this, as it was difficult to avoid, but those who stage accidents to extort money still needed to be dealt with severely.

"Chaoyang, go and notify the Market Supervision Bureau. If they see anyone impersonating Guhu hairy crabs, deal with them properly. As for those from other provinces, we'll just sue them directly. Why don't these merchants impersonate Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs?"

Zhao Chaoyang was speechless after hearing this. Aren't Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs also from Handong?

"Governor Zhang, it seems that the hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake are also from our Handong."

Zhang Wen was still a little surprised after hearing this.

"Chaoyang, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are also from our Handong, right? Which city are they from?"

Zhao Chaoyang was speechless.

"Governor Zhang, Yangcheng Lake is in our Lüzhou. Didn't you go to inspect it last time?"

Zhang Wen was a little embarrassed; he had always assumed it was from Jiangxi Province. He had indeed been misled by his own experience.

"Chaoyang, none of that matters. What we need to do now is solve these problems."

"Governor Zhang, what do you think about us organizing a food festival?"

Zhang Wen agreed after hearing this, thinking that the food festival seemed to have great potential.

"Chaoyang, I'll go and inform the mayors and see what delicacies and specialties they have. I remember the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon, so let's arrange these gifts for the holiday. I remember the hairy crabs we sent last year were quite good."

"Okay, Governor Zhang, I'll make the arrangements right away."

"Chaoyang, from now on, all the canteens in our government will purchase grain from our own province."

Zhao Chaoyang hesitated after hearing this.

"Governor Zhang, isn't this going to offend too many people? We used to make all the purchases ourselves."

Zhang Wen responded domineeringly after hearing this.

"Chaoyang, I'm only purchasing grain; the vegetables and meat still belong to them. Besides, they won't buy from the local people. Set a red line for them; the price can't be lower than the market price."

"Governor Zhang, if the price is the same as the market price, why would their suppliers be willing to do it?"

"Chaoyang, don't you think about it? Grain only costs a few cents; the real money comes from vegetables and meat. If they can't even bear to part with this small profit, then we'll replace them. Besides, we're not making them lose money; they just need to ensure the farmers make a profit."

Zhao Chaoyang was a little envious of Zhang Wen; this was the true domineering presence of a regional governor.

"Governor Zhang, I admit my mistake. I was flawed in my thinking. I used to only think about stable development and was afraid of changing the status quo. Now I realize that as state cadres, we should consider the interests of the people more."

Zhang Wen was also a little surprised to see Zhao Chaoyang make his statement. Zhao Chaoyang used to be very serious and methodical in his work.

"Chaoyang, our development aims to improve people's lives. Farmers are also part of Handong, and we cannot leave them behind on the road to common prosperity. Now that we have the strength, we can provide appropriate support."

"Governor Zhang's words are profound."

"Chaoyang, hurry up and make the arrangements. We'll start implementing it next month, so they can have an extra source of income."

"Yes, Governor Zhang, I'll go and inform them right away."

Watching Zhao Chaoyang walk out of the office.

"Xiao Huang, go and call Wang Chaoyang to my office."

"Yes, Governor Zhang."

20 minute later.

"Governor Zhang, what brings you here?"

"Wang Chaoyang, are the Party secretaries of your Gaochun District and Lishui District idiots? How could they do such a terrible job? Their products aren't even that hard to sell. How could they make such a mess of things?"

"Governor Zhang, these two guys apologized to me. They said they didn't know it would turn out like this. It seems they've expanded by half this year."

Zhang Wen was speechless after hearing this. This guy is a complete idiot. Doesn't he know how well it sold last year?

"Chaoyang, go back and inform them that our province has decided to give them a major demerit. What are they trying to achieve with this blind expansion? They didn't even realize how well things sold last year."

"Governor Zhang, isn't this too harsh? They just want to increase their income a little."

"Chaoyang, I think this punishment is very reasonable. Look at all the agricultural products they've produced, all of which are unsaleable. If they can't be sold, how much will those farmers suffer?"

After hearing this, Wang Chaoyang understood that they were being treated like monkeys.

"Yes, Governor Zhang, I will definitely convey your instructions."

"Chaoyang, when you get back, organize a meeting with all the district heads and party secretaries. Tell them to consider market issues more, avoid blind expansion, and take into account the interests of the general public."

"Yes, Governor Zhang."
